Possible Error on Mark 18 Torpedo entry

Latest comment: 9 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

It is highly unlikely that the Torpedoes fired on the Kuma in April 1942 are Mark 18 Torpedoes. These torpedoes were meant for submarines and were only designed in April 1942. Henryjones000 (talk) 01:12, 19 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

They were almost certainly RNTF Mark VIII (i.e., Mark 8) - the same that sank the General Belgrano in 1982. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.31.130.99 (talk) 11:31, 5 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
